[QUOTE="Dr Lex Winter, post: 591146, member: 20140"] All mining legislation is brought about because they want mining rights that big corporations pay a fortune to get to feel special. That and greenies thought somehow cleaning rocks was damaging the waterways. I remember when they banned it we started to get blue green algae choking up the waterways - previously dredging did away with that. The impact of small scale dredging is less than what most legal fossickers do - like you aren't allowed to move rocks but you can smash them up with a crowbar and that's A-OK. Unfortunately law makers tend to have no clue what they're talking about and only consult special interest groups who have access to said law makers to begin with and not the people doing it daily.
